Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Recording date 1987 - 2009
Having re-released a large amount of Tangerine Dream's back catalogue in 2009, the German Membran label published a budget box set titled Ballads -- a title one would expect for a compilation by some rock or pop music star, but not from a mainly electronic band. Anyway, Ballads comes with a cardboard box containing four CDs, each of them in its own cardboard sleeve, and a 12 page booklet with a TD biography in German and English language. It covers the band history from the late sixties up to the release of The Seven Letters From Tibet in 2000.
The four CDs have their own individual titles, originating from one of the tracks featured on the respective disk: CD 1 comes as The Blue Bridge, CD 2 is titled Ivory Town, CD 3 is named Beyond All Suns, while CD 4 has the title Velvet Sun.
This compilation contains no new material, but given the very fair price and the nice packaging, it is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the TD music of the recent two decades.
